Reference: Eph-A-HORSE-RACING-1849-01
Description: A programme for four races of a race meeting held in Auckland, has an illustration of two galloping horses with their jockeys, at top centre. For three of the four races, the names, ages, owners, weights and jockey colours of each horse are listed. Owners include Mr A Cooper, Lieut. Page, Mr R Graham, Captain Greenwood, Mr McFarlane, Mr Young, Mr Macky, Mr Williamson, Mr Dennett. This programme is for the first day of a three-day racing meeting in Auckland in 1849. The newspapers of the previous week (5 December) issued a plea: “The inner side of the New Race Course having been much cut up by horses being galloped thereon, a practice which, if continued, will be very injurious to the horses running at the ensuing races, the public are requested to abstain from riding on it until after the next meeting. It is particularly desired that all horses training on the Course, be kept on the Outer Circle”. The paper also stipulated that “No race will come off unless there be three entries for the same”; so the second race listed here was only just feasible. Quantity: 1 b&w art print(s). Physical Description: Letterpress on cream silk fabric, 168 x 138 mm.
